This is historically the normal in all cultures. One of the more credible conspiracies about the Kennedy assassination centers on the fact that he was against expanding the military and opposed starting the Vietnam War. After Lyndon Johnson approved the war, he latter commented how it was a staged event and that the Vietnamese never fired on Americans to begin with. The official story was that North Vietnamese torpedo boats launched an "unprovoked attack" against a U.S. destroyer on a "routine patrol" in the Tonkin Gulf. Then, the North Vietnamese boats followed up with a "deliberate attack" on a pair of U.S. ships two days later. In 1965, Lyndon Johnson commented, "For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there." The military wanted war, regardless of the facts. They lied to the American people and took the lives of more than 50,000 boys.

The standard operation is always to assassinate the outsider who resists the establishment, be it military or political.
